How to Stop Squeaky Door Hinges Using Rocket TT
Squeaky door hinges are one of the most common household maintenance problems. Whether the noise is coming from a bedroom door, bathroom door, cupboard hinge, shed door, garden gate or garage door, the cause is usually friction between dry or dirty moving parts.
Our Rocket TT Super Lubricant can help reduce friction, quieten squeaks and restore smoother movement to suitable hinges.
Why Do Door Hinges Squeak?
Door hinges can squeak when the moving metal parts become dry, dusty, rusty or worn through everyday use. The hinge pin and hinge plates rub against each other, creating an annoying squeaking sound whenever the door opens or closes.
Regular lubrication can help reduce this friction and keep suitable hinges moving smoothly.

How to Stop a Squeaky Door Hinge
Open and close the door slowly to identify which hinge is making the noise.
Wipe the hinge with a clean cloth to remove dust, dirt or old residue.
Apply a small amount of our Rocket TT Super Lubricant directly to the hinge joint and hinge pin area.
Open and close the door several times to help our lubricant work into the moving parts.
Wipe away any excess product from the hinge, door and frame.
If the squeak remains, apply a little more of our Rocket TT Super Lubricant and repeat the process.
For particularly stubborn hinges, you may need to carefully loosen or remove the hinge pin so our lubricant can reach deeper into the mechanism. Always make sure the door is properly supported before removing a hinge pin.
